Jesus encourages the disciples to respond to the overwhelming destruction that signals the end time by getting safely away from the center of Jerusalem and ignoring any interpretation of what is occurring other than their own. Amidst the chaos and fear they are to ignore the predictions of doom preached by false prophets and keep their eyes open for the true signs of the coming of the Son of Man and all the angels.
In uncertain or dangerous times, how tempting it is to be drawn this way and that by voices proclaiming “the truth”.
Help us to keep the eyes of our eyes open to your truth, dear God, so that we might find safety and comfort in the shelter of your love.
